60.Sh DESCRIPTION
61The functions
62.Fn j0
63and
64.Fn j1
65compute the
66.Em Bessel function of the first kind of the order
670 and the
68.Em order
691, respectively,
70for the
71real value
72.Fa x ;
73the function
74.Fn jn
75computes the
76.Em Bessel function of the first kind of the integer order
77.Fa n
78for the real value
79.Fa x .
80.Pp
81The functions
82.Fn y0
83and
84.Fn y1
85compute the linearly independent
86.Em Bessel function of the second kind of the order
870 and the
88.Em order
891, respectively,
90for the
91positive
92.Em integer
93value
94.Fa x
95(expressed as a double);
96the function
97.Fn yn
98computes the
99.Em Bessel function of the second kind for the integer order
100.Fa n
101for the positive
102.Em integer
103value
104.Fa x
105(expressed as a double).
106.Sh RETURN VALUES
107If these functions are successful,
108the computed value is returned. On the
109.Tn VAX
110and
111.Tn Tahoe
112architectures,
113a negative
114.Fa x
115value
116results in an error; the global
117variable
118.Va errno
119is set to
120.Er EDOM
121and a reserve operand fault is generated.
